Will I face unexpected charges at the Dollar counter in Rhode Island when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Dollar booking in Rhode Island are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Dollar counter.
On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Dollar counter in Rhode Island charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Dollar to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.
The only costs outside this guarantee are:
- Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
- Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)
Where is the Dollar counter at T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island?
The Dollar counter at T.F. Green State Airport (PVD) in Rhode Island is not inside the main terminal building. Dollar operates from the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (also called the Conrac or InterLink facility), which is connected to the terminal via a covered Skywalk.
When you arrive at T.F. Green, follow the signs for the Consolidated Rental Car Facility, then walk across the Skywalk to the 3rd floor of the Conrac building, where you will find the Dollar counter along with the other rental brands.
The Dollar location address is 700 Jefferson Boulevard, Warwick, RI 02886. Counter hours are 06:00 to 23:59 daily, with an additional window from 00:00 to 00:30, making it accessible for most flight arrivals into Rhode Island.
Does Dollar have a downtown Providence location in Rhode Island?
Yes, Dollar has a downtown location in Rhode Island in addition to the T.F. Green Airport counter. The Providence location is at 400 Silver Spring Street, Providence, RI 02904, and there is also a Dollar presence in East Providence.
If you are not flying into Rhode Island or prefer to pick up your Dollar rental closer to the city center, the Providence location is an alternative to the airport counter at T.F. Green in Warwick. Keep in mind that off-airport Dollar locations in Rhode Island may have different operating hours than the airport counter, so confirm hours before heading to the branch.
For any Dollar location in Rhode Island, bring your physical driver's license, a major credit card in the main driver's name, and your booking confirmation.
What tolls will I encounter driving a Dollar rental car in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island has a limited toll network, so most driving in a Dollar rental car will be toll-free. The main toll you are likely to encounter is the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge, a 2.8-mile crossing connecting Newport on Aquidneck Island to Jamestown on Conanicut Island.
Toll costs for a standard passenger car on the Newport Bridge are:
- E-ZPass (non-resident): US$4.00
- Bill by Mail (no transponder, license plate capture): US$6.00
Rhode Island also has the RhodeWorks system at 12 locations on I-95, I-295, I-195, and other routes, but this applies only to heavy trucks. Passenger cars in a Dollar rental pay nothing at RhodeWorks gantries.
Rhode Island has no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center driving fees. Your Dollar rental vehicle in Rhode Island will include an electronic toll device. At the counter you can choose an unlimited toll package or pay per use, with administrative fees added per unpaid toll if you do not enroll.
Can I get cashback on Newport Bridge tolls paid in my Dollar rental in Rhode Island?
Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which lets you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Dollar rental in Rhode Island, including the Newport Bridge toll.
For example, if your Dollar booking total is US$400, the cashback cap is US$20. If you paid US$12 in Newport Bridge tolls, you receive US$12 back. If you paid US$30, you receive US$20 (the cap).
To claim after your Rhode Island rental ends:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - HOLA followed by your confirmation number
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the Dollar rental agreement signed at pick-up, and a toll receipt or statement showing charges paid
Refunds are issued to the original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted.
What taxes and fees are added to a Dollar rental in Rhode Island?
When picking up a Dollar rental in Rhode Island, several state and airport fees are added on top of the base rate. These apply to all rental brands in the state, not just Dollar.
- Rhode Island rental surcharge: 8% on gross receipts for the first 30 days of the rental
- Rhode Island sales and use tax: 7% on total rental charges
- Airport Concession Fee Recovery (ACFR): reimburses Dollar for fees paid to T.F. Green Airport; mandatory at the airport counter
- Customer Facility Charge (CFC): funds the Consolidated Rental Car Facility at T.F. Green
- Customer Transportation Fee: covers shuttle and Skywalk access between the terminal and the Conrac building
Your booking confirmation will show which fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are listed as due at pick-up. If your confirmation shows taxes and fees as included and Dollar charges them again at the counter, the No Extra Charges© guarantee may apply. Rhode Island has no tourism surcharge on car rentals.
What documents do I need to pick up a Dollar rental car in Rhode Island?
To collect your Dollar rental in Rhode Island, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:
- Your original, unexpired driver's license (no photocopies or digital versions accepted)
- A major credit card with your name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
- A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting Rhode Island from abroad
If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside the original license. If your license is in a Latin alphabet but not in English, an IDP is strongly recommended. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit at the Dollar counter in Rhode Island.
Is a credit card required for the Dollar deposit in Rhode Island?
Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security deposit hold at the Dollar counter in Rhode Island. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual or digital-wallet-only cards are not accepted.
At T.F. Green Airport and other Dollar locations in Rhode Island, the typical security hold for a standard car is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount depends on the vehicle class, rental duration, and Dollar's current policy at that location. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold.
The hold is a temporary authorization, not a charge. After you return the Dollar rental in Rhode Island, the hold is released, but your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release on your statement.
To avoid issues, notify your bank of your travel to Rhode Island before arrival, and bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.
What is the young driver surcharge for Dollar rentals in Rhode Island?
Yes, Dollar charges a young driver surcharge in Rhode Island for renters aged 20 to 24. The fee is approximately US$25 per day, capped at approximately US$98 for the rental period.
In Rhode Island, the standard minimum age to rent without a surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent a Dollar car but will pay the daily underage fee on top of the base rate. Most vehicle classes are restricted for under-25 renters; economy, compact, and intermediate categories are typically available, while full-size, SUV, premium, luxury, and specialty classes are generally reserved for drivers aged 25 and older.
If you are aged 21 to 24 and from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Dollar-adjacent Avis and Budget rates may waive the underage fee when the waiver is explicitly shown on your booking confirmation. This exception does not apply to Dollar directly, so confirm the details of your specific reservation before pick-up at the Rhode Island counter.
How does the fuel policy work for Dollar rentals in Rhode Island?
Dollar rentals in Rhode Island follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
At pick-up at the Dollar counter in Rhode Island, check the fuel gauge with the agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and gauge before leaving the lot.
When returning your Dollar rental in Rhode Island, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location, whether that is the T.F. Green Airport Conrac facility or a city branch. Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
If you return the car below the recorded starting level, Dollar may charge:
- A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
- A refueling service or administrative fee
Returning the tank full is always the most cost-effective option for your Rhode Island rental.
Does Dollar in Rhode Island include insurance coverage in the rental?
Dollar rentals in Rhode Island can include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduce your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. Your booking confirmation will specify whether CDW or LDW is included and whether a deductible applies.
CDW and LDW do not cover third-party liability, meaning injury or property damage you cause to other people or vehicles. For that protection, you would need Third-Party Liability coverage (LIS or SLI). Some U.S. states require rental companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all states do, so check your Dollar rental agreement in Rhode Island carefully.
Common exclusions from CDW and LDW at Dollar in Rhode Island include:
- Tires, wheels, and undercarriage damage
- Damage caused by prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence
- Incidents involving drivers not listed on the rental agreement
Always review the rental agreement at the Dollar counter in Rhode Island before signing to confirm exactly what is covered and what deductible applies.
Can I add an additional driver to my Dollar rental in Rhode Island?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Dollar rental in Rhode Island, but the extra driver must be present at the counter at pick-up with their own valid driver's license.
If your booking confirmation shows the additional driver as included, no extra fee applies for the first extra driver. If it is not included, Dollar charges approximately US$13.50 per rental day for an additional driver, with a maximum cap of US$189 for the rental period in Rhode Island.
Requirements for additional drivers at Dollar in Rhode Island:
- Must be present at the T.F. Green Airport counter or city branch at pick-up
- Must present a valid physical driver's license, plus an IDP if the license uses a non-Latin alphabet
- Must meet the minimum age requirements; young driver surcharges may apply if the additional driver is under 25
- Must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the Dollar rental agreement in Rhode Island are covered by the vehicle's protections. Anyone not named on the contract who drives the car may void coverage.
What happens if I miss a toll in my Dollar rental car in Rhode Island?
If you drive through a toll in Rhode Island without paying, such as the Newport Bridge, the toll system captures your license plate and issues a Bill by Mail charge. For the Newport Bridge, the Bill-by-Mail rate for a passenger car is US$6.00, compared to US$4.00 with E-ZPass.
Beyond the toll itself, Dollar may pass on an administrative or processing fee for each unpaid toll, which can be US$15 or more per incident. These charges often appear on your credit card days or even weeks after you return the Dollar rental in Rhode Island, because toll agencies process invoices in batches.
To avoid unexpected post-rental charges on your Rhode Island Dollar rental:
- Ask the Dollar agent at pick-up about the toll program options, including unlimited daily packages or pay-per-use enrollment
- If you use your own E-ZPass or a third-party service like NextPass, inform the counter agent so the vehicle's default device can be deactivated to prevent duplicate charges
- Keep all toll receipts and your final Dollar rental invoice in case you need to dispute a charge

Yes, most bookings include travel assistance through Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you experience a medical emergency or other covered incident during your Dollar rental in Rhode Island.

- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in case of an accident
